“Summer means happy times and good sunshine,” Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys once said. We are so happy it’s officially summer, and we get to enjoy long days with our families and friends. Summer is the time for vacations, fun in the sun and campfires at night. It is an opportunity to grow as an individual and with family and friends.
With more free time, summer is the perfect time to try a new hobby. As a kid, it was easy to find new hobbies. When you become
an adult, it is difficult to find time to try new things and leisure activities. Hobbies matter. They lead to better physical health, more sleep, lower stress, improved work performance, happiness and the opportunity to meet new friends. During these longer days, get inspired, spark your interests and follow your passion.
Hobbies take time, and you might be telling yourself you just don’t have that time. Believe it or not, we do have free time; we just don’t spend it wisely. Try not to think about your time in days; instead, think about it in weeks. See where you can make time for a new hobby, and put it on your calendar. Once you have the time, you have to choose the right hobby.
A hobby is something that you like to do or study in your spare time or a favorite pastime or avocation. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to do? Think about your childhood; how did you want to spend your time and what made you happy? This year, the Kennesaw Business Association (KBA) is focusing on being happy, and hobbies can do that for you! Pick one or two, then run with them.
After kicking off June with The General Golf Tournament, KBA will have its monthly luncheon, sponsored by 22one Realty Co., June 13 at the KSU Professional Education Building, with networking starting at 11 a.m. Ready for even more fun in June? Our Alive After 5 will be June 20 at Forks and Flavors. This is a great opportunity for food, fun and networking. This event is always free for KBA members and $5 for guests. KBA will wrap up the month with our Wake Up KBA at 22one Realty. This is perfect for early-morning networking, coffee and an amazing home-cooked breakfast by Teena Regan. This will be a month of events you won’t want to miss.
We can’t wait to see you out and about this summer, supporting the community. Find some new hobbies, and remember: Always keep smiling.
“It’s summer and time for wandering.” — Kellie Elmore
